US EditionAnti-ICE, DHS protesters kicked out of New Orleans City Council chambers
Activists demanded a non-cooperation policy with ICE and Border Patrol amid Operation Catahoula Crunch, which aims to deport 5,000 people in the New Orleans region, officials said.
- On Dec. 4, dozens of local protesters were kicked out of the New Orleans City Council chambers after disrupting a meeting and demanding non-compliance with ICE and Border Patrol.
- The protest arose amid the federal 'Catahoula Crunch' sweeps as U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement have detained dozens, aiming to deport at least 5,000 people.
- Council President JP Morrell suspended the public comment period shortly after the meeting began, with unanimous approval, and the council took a brief recess as protesters shouted, despite New Orleans City Council rules requiring comments to be germane to the agenda.
- City officials have taken measures to document issues and mobilize legal services as the council Dec. 3 launched an anonymous online portal and Helena Moreno urged the local legal community to assist those caught in sweeps.
- Louisiana Republicans earlier this year passed a law barring local officials from refusing cooperation with ICE and CBP, while Current Mayor LaToya Cantrell has largely dodged questions despite activists' frustration.
